Erasmus has opted for 5-3 split on the bench but with André Esterhuizen taking a hybrid role, the split can also be called a 6-2, depending on what the Boks need on the night. Boan Venter might be a bit of surprise inclusion. His experience in the North is probably why he gets the nod ahead of Steenekamp. With a powerful bench to call on, the Boks will be waiting for the right time to unleash, RG, Wilco, Libbok and company. The match between the Boks and Les Bleus, kicks off at 22:10 on Saterday.
